Objectif The PLACE project contributes to cutting-edge radar, antenna- and signalprocessing developments, leading tonext generation radar systems, with better performances on detecting, localisation and analysing (moving)persons in complex environments for security purposes. Detection of persons is a very challenging problembecause of the very weak echo signal. The scientific challenges are embedded in three research topics:1. Signal generation. 2. Agile digital receivers. 3. System architecture and radar perfor mance. The PLACE-project offers excellent opportunities for five university graduates (M.Sc. degree) to receive earlystage training in the field of radar system and receiver design. The proposed research topics offer the fellows theopportunity to prepare f or a PhD degree. Hosted at the Operational Studies Group of Thales Nederland B.V. the fellows will be surrounded by the best resources available to do research in this area. Tight co-operation with the Delft University of Technology (The International Res earch Centre for Telecommunications-transmission and Radar, IRCTR) enhances the effects of the research training. The fellows will be stimulated to learn and to train, but also to contribute to scientific developments. The leading research position of Thal es facilitates the fellows to become experts themselves, in their own scientific/technological discipline, with a profound focus on personal development and radar technology. From these perspectives, Thales clearly contributes to promoting research careers within the European Research Area and encourages young researchers to progress into long term research careers.
